Beer

Yep, a post about beer. Because I need a mental (and physical) break from the damn bookcases that are sucking the life out of me. We do have all the shelf cleats up and are still making progress, but I'm tired of talking about it. Let's talk about the Great Lakes Brewfest that we went to a couple weeks ago instead! Beer helps you through any project, right?

It took place at Racine's Festival Park, on the beautiful Lake Michigan shore. They had over 90 craft breweries for our drinking pleasure, and Lakefront Brewery even had a dude walking around with a keg on his back so you didn't have to wait in line! That is service.

We made some pretzel necklaces to make sure we didn't get drunkity after an hour, you can see my really long necklace in this picture of me with a dude wearing a ladies shirt.

It says "I bet you wish these were filled with beer" across the chest. I couldn't resist a picture with this stud! We made some new friends...

And checked out the boats, even though it was rather chilly that day.

Then I asked Shaun to take a picture of me with my beer, and this unflattering little photoshoot happened:

But I finally managed to look normal for the last one.

And then we got a nice one together, even though ALL THE PRETZELS WERE GONE and we were still drinking. Watch out!

One of our new friends looked a bit like Shaun when he's sporting longer hair and a mustache, so we took a very serious picture at a bar post-festival to document their twin-dom.

I think as bloggers we're allowed a brain-break every once and a while (ie- my "things I wish would fall out of the sky" post yesterday). I may need another one after we finish the guest room and guest post we're working on. Also, I think the "unflattering" photoshoot was hilarious/adorable.

About Me

My name is Sara. I am a home owner/renovator, photographer, and stay at home mom in the Chicago area trying to cram all kinds of projects into the time my son is at school. Ashford is 3, and I had our second baby Zach December 2015, so things are pretty busy around here! I like slightly inappropriate humor, wine, and stalking house blogs. I love starting new DIY projects and sometimes hate finishing them. I love taking portraits of families, children and couples whenever I can. This blog is all about the projects my husband and I tackle, the projects that fizzle, and the funny things that happen to us along the way.
